It affects an area. Figure it out, genius.

That would be great, but I know Dulrik would at least spell [REDACTED] right.

Actually, genius, it doesn't affect an area, it bounces from individual to individual. If it is coded that way, it is still single target with the target switching after every hit.

Why do you make it so easy to flame you?

I shall refrain.

Let me make it easy for you.

AoE (Area of Effect) which implies that it hits multiple targets at the SAME time.

Chaining effects = Are effects that are single target that chain to another single target.

Depending on how it is actually coded/flagged they can be two completely different things. I will refrain from flaming you. In that I had to rewrite this several times to pull out the flames.

Class dismissed.

Umm, in SK Chain lightning is an AoE spell. It affects everyone in the room at the same time in a single spell. That is pretty much the Definition of AoE.

I swear Muktar. I need to just get banned for a week to put you in your place. Not only did you completely make up the second term for whatever reason, I've also *never* heard of it. Ever. Anywhere. AoE does not mean it hits multiple targets at the same time. It means that it has effects on an area. There are non-combat AoE spells. Like D&D's circles of law/chaos/good/evil.

The fact that you are unable to grasp the three words, "area of effect" is just astonishing. Chain lightning is placing an *effect* (lightning damage) on an *area* (a room).
